Confess one's love at two points (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

own

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'confess one's' is the definition.
'own' can be an answer for 'confess' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'one's' bit.

'love at two points' is the wordplay.
'two points' can mean two substitutions for 'point'.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'point' becomes 'w'.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'o'+'w'+'n'='OWN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for own that I've seen before include "Personal; possess" , "Have in one's possession" , "Posses" , "Control" , "Acknowledge" .)
